Hawaii expects former USC QB Max Wittek to walk on to the football team, reports CBS Sports' Jeremy Fowler.

The Warriors, however, are "taking believe-when-see approach since Texas thing didn't work out," Fowler added. Wittek planned on completing his degree over the summer, but that process has been delayed until December. If he transferred to an FBS program prior to earning his bachelor's, Wittek would be forced to sit out a season of football to fulfill NCAA requirements. Some believe Wittek will be granted immediate eligibility as a graduate transfer at Hawaii, and join a competition with sophomore Ikaika Woosley and senior Taylor Graham for the starting gig. But that isn't assured: A newspaper on the islands reported last month that Wittek would need to sit out the 2014 season since he did not graduate from USC in the spring. "I feel great with coach (Norm) Chow," Wittek said last month. "He’s awesome. He’s been so helpful through this whole process." Sun, Aug 10, 2014 01:57:00 PM

Former USC QB Max Wittek is in the process of applying to Hawaii for the 2014 school year and says there is a "good possibility" he will walk-on the football team.

Wittek pointed out nothing is official yet and he still has to have conversations with his family along with the acceptance of his application, but everything is headed in the right direction. The Star Advertiser notes Wittek would need to sit out the 2014 season since he did not graduate from USC last spring. Thu, Jul 3, 2014 01:31:00 PM

Former USC QB Max Wittek will not transfer to an FBS school this summer.

Wittek planned on completing his degree this summer, but that accomplishment has been delayed until December. If he transferred to an FBS program prior to earning his bachelor's, Wittek would be forced to sit out a season of football to fulfill NCAA requirements. He previously visited Hawaii and Texas. Hawaii was reportedly holding a scholarship for the quarterback, while Texas stopped recruiting him for "unknown reasons," which have now been revealed. Mon, May 19, 2014 09:42:00 AM

The Austin American-Statesman is reported that Texas is "backing away from offering" a scholarship to former USC QB Max Wittek "for undisclosed reasons."

It's a surprising development, as Wittek visited Austin on multiple occasions, most recently for the Longhorns' spring game. With Texas out of the picture, Wittek could turn to Hawaii, whose campus he has also visited. Louisville and Pittsburgh have also been discussed as options for the former USC signal-caller, a four-star member of the 2011 recruiting class. Wed, May 14, 2014 09:02:00 PM
